is the depiction of the moon a form of idolatry in islam?

There is a thin line between symbolism and idolotry?


Good point. The symbol of islam is not the moon (despite it being wrongly attributed to it by the red crescent and many mosques and flags etc).  It was actually the pre islamic pagan symbol for the quraysh tribe.

The crescent certainly wasnt used as a symbol for islam in the prophet's lifetime.  In fact, There is no real symbol for islam! (Perhaps to avoid idolatry).

 So one was assigned to it by "others".
